30 year-old Mason Patnett, who has been facing an attempted murder charge since December of 2012, was finally told today that he no longer has to worry about that crime, at least not right now. Patnett was charged for the shooting of 23 year-old Marvin Bul.
Just over 6 years ago Bul was in a yard on Dove Street in Ladyville when a car pulled up and a gunman shot him.
Police arrested Patnett and 21 year-old Raheem Crawford, and the cops charged both men with attempted murder, wounding, and use of deadly means of harm. In August of 2014, Raheem Crawford was shot and killed, leaving only Patnett to face those charges which they allegedly committed against Marvin Bul.
In December 2014, police found the remains of a man in Ladyville, which was later identified as the victim, Marvin Bul.
So, with his co-defendant dead, and the complainant accusing him also deceased, the prosecution, represented by Crown Counsel Shereigne Rodriguez was forced to enter into a nolle pros against him. He was informed that at this time, that the charges were being withdrawn, but the prosecution could bring them back if new evidence emerges.
With that, he was allowed to go free.
